Abstract PyGTK is one of the GUI toolkit for Python. It allows the programmers to create programs with a graphical user interface using the python programming language. GTK stands for GIMP Toolkit (GTK). It is a library for creating graphical user interfaces. GTK was originally created for the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), a raster graphics editor. GTK+ library is a collection of user interface building blocks such as text boxes, check buttons, radio buttons, dialog labels, numeric entries, menus, lists and frames. GNOME Desktop Environment is built using PyGTK. Some of the applications that use PyGTK are GIMP, GNOME Sudoku, Itaka etc. Glade is a RAD tool. It enables us to create and edit user interface designs for GTK+ applications. The user interfaces designed in glade are stored in an XML format. The XML files are then converted into source code ( programming languages such as C, C++, Java, Python, Perl etc) using external tools like gladex, tepache, gtk-builder etc.
